🎙️WHAT IF YOUR DREAM HOME WAS HIDING A DEADLY PAST? 🏚️

We’re stepping into the woods with Ashley Woo, @ashleywooauthor author of the chilling gothic debut WILDWOOD, released September 8, 2026! 📚

In this episode of Rebel Reads Podcast, Ashley takes us behind the story of Elinor, a newly pregnant woman who inherits her family’s ancestral estate in rural Vermont only to discover that Wildwood is anything but a safe haven.

We’re talking haunted houses, witches, ghosts, a living forest, family secrets, and the dark history buried beneath the surface. 👻

But WILDWOOD is more than a gothic thriller. It also explores inheritance, land ownership, class, wealth disparity, and who truly has the right to claim the land we call home.

Ashley shares the real-life inspiration behind the eerie Vermont setting, the Forest of the Dead mural, and what happens when the past refuses to stay buried.

If you love gothic suspense, psychological thrillers, supernatural mysteries, atmospheric fiction, and complicated family secrets, this is an episode you won’t want to miss!

🎧 Listen to the full episode on Rebel Reads Podcast!

𝑻𝒂𝒓 𝑪𝒊𝒕𝒚 (noun): a place where nothing stays buried—not secrets, not monsters, not the people you thought you left behind.

I fell in love with Blair M. Shadows’ writing through Crystal Iris, so I was curious to see what she’d do with a completely different style… and she pulled it off.

Tar City is dark, eerie, and impossible to predict. The mystery keeps tightening with every chapter, and the tension between Jax and Sisk is the kind that has you telling yourself “just one more chapter” until suddenly it’s 2 a.m. The world feels alive in the most unsettling way, and I loved never quite knowing what was waiting around the corner.

🖤 Tropes:
• Morally gray MMC
• Ballerina × villain
• Paranormal dark romance
• Motorcycles
• Dual POV
• High tension & obsessive romance
• Tattoos & piercings

Happy release day, Blair! 🎉

🔗If dark romance with paranormal horror vibes sounds like your kind of read, grab your copy through the link in my bio.

QOTD: What’s one book that had you hooked because of the mystery, not just the romance?

*** @authorblairshadows creates all her own artwork, don’t be weird and accuse her of AI, her work / work in progress is posted all over her page!! 🥰

💫I tagged some friends that I think would enjoy this book, check TWs 💫

POV: you found the one person (or in my case people) who won’t side-eye you for falling in love with a morally gray psychopath, screaming at 3am over a plot twist that shattered your soul, and yes… that chapter that lived in your head rent-free for a week. 🤭🖤📚

Book besties aren’t just friends. They’re witnesses to your descent into fictional men who should absolutely be in prison — and they hand you the next book anyway.

Tag the one who gets a 2am text that’s just “I NEED TO TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK” and knows exactly what that means 💬☠️📖

Tagging a few of mine 🫶🏼
